pls i want to create a chat room from scratch for my wap site, any help for this and where i can get tutorial on this

You dont just get a tutorial on how to create a chat room application. THere are issues you have to resolve before any implementation. What platform are you developing for? Features to be included any many more

You can use multicasting in java to write one but think of what fayimora said.

Here is a C# version of a multicast chat application. Follow this link for more info: C# / C Sharp » Network » Chat
